Electronics and screens need careful handling during cleaning to avoid damage while still keeping them genuinely dust-free.

Power down first

Turn off and unplug electronics before cleaning to avoid any risk with moisture near powered components.

Use a dry microfibre cloth

Most screens should be dusted with a dry, soft microfibre cloth rather than sprays or wet cloths.

Avoid harsh chemicals

Standard glass cleaners can damage screen coatings, use products specifically designed for electronics if a wet clean is needed.

Regular maintenance

Frequent light dusting prevents the kind of buildup that becomes harder to remove later. See our living room cleaning guide for the full routine.
